fingh -- that deconstruction of super-heroes modern title you're crazy about, what is it again?

 

Should I take the lack of answer as a slight?

 

[SuperBird]

It is called watchmen.

lol

 

finghy, did you ever answer my question over in Modern?

 

Was it The Authority?

 

What is the question?

 

Weren't you praising the Authority in a thread a month or two ago?

 

I really enjoyed the first 16 issues of the first authority book, as I did the final 13 issues of Stormwatch. All written by Warren Ellis, and a couple of Mark Millar. But they both pale in comparison to Planetary, which is my #2 all time series behind Sandman.

 

Planetary!

 

That's it!

 

I'm posting this in my Modern thread. Thanks.

[SuperBird]

Planetary is exceptional.

[TupennyConan]

Never figured fingh for a Sandman fan.

 

[TupennyConan]

Looks like Strangers in Paradise is first up.

 

Followed by Rachel Rising.

 

SiP is in trade correct? What's the best way to go when buying it in trade?

[ThoseBackPages]

Rachel Rising has two TPBs out so far, grab those.

 

As for SiP, later this year Terry is putting out a soft cover Omnibus Collection. Over 2,000 pages (two books) for just $100.

 

i recommend waiting for it, thats what i am doing (ive never read SiP)
